Uh, if you turn it *on*, you get the exact opposite of what you're

"NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation" just prevents the file system from creating 
an 8.3 equivalent to your long filenames automatically.  If you change the

Programs.txt", then you *won't* get the equivalent "ADDORR~3.TXT".  See:

I can only see drawbacks with changing the default:
